I am looking for a service manual for a Fujifilm Finepix S1500 digital camera, if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

I have an old Pentax S3 camera I bought in 2004, I recently ran into the A 90 screen I've now found that a lot of people have been having problems with.

The screen on my samsung LT210 dual view camera must be broken. The front view is fine and the camera still works but the larger screen to view normal pictures has been damaged and I cannot see the picture that I am taking. Can it be fixed or should I buy a new one. There are no camera repair shops where I live. I bought the camera from Best Buy and they told me that I either dropped the camera or smashed the screen somehow. Anyway, I need a camera and wanted to know if I should buy another

From your description you would be further ahead to buy a new camera, you stated there are no repair shops where you live, and to send it away would be expensive probably costing more than a new one. The only other option is go on ebay to price a new ...

Sony DSC-W70 "File Error", blue screen when viewing pics... Please help. I took many photos last week while in Turkey, and the last ten I cannot view. When attempting to view on the LCD camera screen I get a blue screen with a "File Error" message.
